Hi guys and girls! Today, I've got an article that I published over a year ago. Without further ado, let's get started!
Days till:
It is: 3 days till Labor Day
It is: 19 days till Fall
It is: 82 days till the theatrical release of The Good Dinosaur
In the Spotlight:
Once again, I have nothing noteworthy to share this week.
Topic of the Week by Joy Hammond
The Sound of Music . . . and I'm not talking about the movie! There is so much of this world that has been discovered from the tiniest particles to the tallest mountains. Name three or four things that are invisible but you that their there through your other senses. I bet you wouldn't have named this: infrasound. Now your probably wondering what in the world is infrasound. Well, infrasound is a sound frequency below 20 hertz. Which means it's a sound that can be seen and is barely heard with the human ear. However, your body can feel it and may react to it, such as getting dizzy, nausea, or have headaches. Do you want a type of example of an infrasound?
Humpback whales can call each other
from 100 miles away; talk about international cellphone coverage!
The Sumatran rhinoceros carry on a constant infrasonic “song” when
they were originally thought to be quiet and solitary. Unfortunately,
these sounds rarely be heard with the human ear. It just shows that
nature really does have a song of its own. Did you know that on
February 15, 2013, the Chelyabinsk meteor exploded over southern
Russia and that its sound waves circled around the world several
times and lasted more than a day! It was the loudest sound ever
recorded, unfortunately it was an infrasound so we couldn't hear it,
but maybe we had some type of response to it? Although we can't
hear it, our mind can sense it. This goes to show that sound is
everywhere, perhaps if you stop and listen, you may be able to hear
the sounds of nature and its song.

| This is an infrasound recording. |
Believe it or not, nature really does
have a song of its own, you just can't hear it . . . unless you have some
type of high-tech machine. Sound is powerful just like it's told in
class, let your voice be heard. Tiger and lion roars have been known
to temporally stun their prey. Scientists can predict tornadoes
several minutes before it touches down because of its infrasound.
Sometimes you have this feeling of a sense of dread before a
thunderstorm occurs or and avelanche. With this knowledge, people
maybe able to save lives in the future by detecting infrasound waves
of occurring disasters.
